How Do We Communicate if a Melt-Down Occurs?

Solzhenitsyn says in The Gulag Archipelago: How we burned later after being arrested, that we didn't put up a resistance. What if each Black Maria that prowled the streets at night feared that citizens would run out of their apartments and rip the driver to shreds, grab axes and clubs to kill the agents going door to door to arrest people?

Because they couldn't communicate, they were kept in isolated fear. How do we prevent this? We all pray to Our Great Protector that such a time will never descend upon our nation, but it doesn't hurt to take some prudent precautions.

Amateur radio works really well....

We shoot every damn thing that moves, that’s how ...

Morse code.

Single shots for dots, busts for dashes.

We need a meet-up.....the UP of Michigan? Texas?

[Jim Robinson]

Smoke signals, gun powder and lead.

Communication broke down in NY on 9/11. Cell phones did not work. Rumors flew. In the NYPD we thought that some of our top commanders were dead and found out otherwise days later.

Signs work pretty good.

NOW is the time to organize and create the grassroots networks that can leap-frog over/under conventional means of communication.

We can meet at Saks!

When all else fails.....AMATEUR RADIO!

Amateur radio works really well....

As long as it's battery powered.

And sealed in a Faraday cage.

Across the US there are amatuer radio clubs whose members work tirelessly with HF and UHF and HF Internet communications during emergencies. These men and women were the unsung heroes in Katrina. When nothing else worked, they were there communicating all the way to Omaha, East Coast and West Coast passing on requirements and information. Locate the nearest club. Make discrete contact. They are US!!

Is this another manufactured crisis (think Millenium computer panic, influenza scare, etc.) designed to enable Obama and comrades to take over all sources of public communication, especially the unruly internet?

Were gonna need IFF codes for fellow Freepers

[Jim Robinson]

We all speak in code. Especially the government. “Martial Law” is government code for “the military portion of the Marxist Revolution is now underway.” Act accordingly.
